The Kansas City Chiefs are again preparing for a crucial postseason matchup with the Buffalo Bills. During the regular season, the Chiefs, a nemesis of the franchise over the past few seasons, were in close contention for the top seed in the conference.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke to the media on Monday for his weekly Zoom press conference. He shared his thoughts on a weakness in Kansas City’s recent battles with Buffalo, which focused on the defense forcing third-down stops.
“One of the things we’ll keep working on is you’ve got to be able to get off the field on third downs. We keep stressing that Steve (Spagnuolo) does, and so we’ve got to, you know, you’ve got to be able to take care of those third downs,” said Reid. “Especially when you’ve worked so hard and put yourself in a good position. Bills do a heck of a job with that. They’re a really good football team offensively.”
The Chiefs’ defense collected eight sacks in their divisional-round victory over the Houston Texans. After suffering their lone genuine loss of the regular season in Buffalo, they know the Bills’ capabilities.
